           description="The Visual Studio 2012 Application Lifecycle Management: Testing Tools workshop is a three-day instructor-led training course that provides participants with a wide range of technical information about the Visual Studio 2012 Test Tooling, and specifically, how the integrated tool suite provided in Visual Studio and Microsoft Test Manager can help testers and developers create and manage robust test plans and suites throughout the Software Development Life Cycle. After the course, participants will have a deeper understanding of how to leverage Visual Studio testing tools to thoroughly test their applications and services. The course is meant to cover the variety of Test Types and Tools available in the Visual Studio 2012 release, and not necessarily dedicated to any specific type of test or tool. In depth coverage for Microsoft Test Manager and manual testing is included, as well as coverage for automated testing in Visual Studio.
